Review on Dell 5000C50064AD43E1 Seagate Desktop Inspiron by Kiril Venev ᠌

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Never buy this product.

I don't quite understand why Seagate formats small disks in AF. And I don’t understand at all when the manufacturer releases part of the series with traditional 512 bytes formatting, and part with AF. Different pros: ST500DM002-1ER14C Everything would be great if not for Advanced Format Its cons: Low-level formatting of a disk with a sector size of 4 KB. If problem (bad) sectors occur, any free utilities are powerless. Neither MHDD (last release of 2022), nor Victoria (last release of 2022), nor proprietary SeaTools, nor any other (HDDScan, HDAT2, etc. ) will help you. And bad sectors appear suddenly, even with the most careful handling, even with the power turned off. July thunderstorms are insidious.
